2001 Audi A3 All Wheel Drive Manual 120000 miles
HI, MY CAM BELT FAILED ON MY AUDI A3 1.8 TURBO YEAR 2001 WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I TOOK IT TO A GARAGE THEY SAID THAT THE ENGINE HAD BLOWN UP SO TO DISMANTLE THE ENGINE HE ASKED FOR £200 JUST TO LOOK AT THE DAMAGE CAUSED!I DIDNT GIVE HIM THE GO AHEAD SO IVE DECIDED TO LOOK FOR ANOTHER ENGINE TO REPLACE IT WHICH WOULD BE CHEAPER TO JUST BUY ONE AND SWAP IT ROUND. THE PROBLEM IS I DONT REALLY TRUST MECCANICS SO I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ITS NECESSARY TO HAVE A WHOLE NEW ENGINE WHEN THIS HAPPENS OR IN MOST CASES THE ENGINE CAN BE REPAIRED?AND DOES IT REALLY COST OVER £1000 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AS TOLD BY THE MECCANIC?MANY THANKS
